The 6-foot-1, 175-pound defensive back is regarded as the No. 600 overall prospect, the No. 46 CB, and the No. 14 recruit in Maryland in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports composite ratings.

Johnson is the third member of Florida State’s DB class to flip from the program this month, joining four-star cornerback Jay Timmons (Ohio State) and four-star safety Tedarius Hughes (Syracuse). The Seminoles did recently lure three-star safety Jordan Crutchfield away from Kentucky.
